Not even an hour had passed since Peyton Manning jogged off the field with another ho-hum three-touchdown performance in the Broncos' 37-21 win against the Oakland Raiders on Monday night when Manning already was thinking about what's coming up next.

Before he slid on his suit jacket and stepped to an interview podium to rehash a night in which he became the first quarterback to ever throw 12 touchdowns without an interception by Week 3, Manning slipped into the cold tub for 20 minutes of bone-chilling, but much-needed, recovery time to start preparing his body for Sunday.
